I think any time a logo is changed it's a good idea to think it through thoroughly, because it's something you don't want to do too often. So thanks for sharing the reasons behind this one. Are there any other things we should be considering before a change?Great!I agree with Tim -- I like his colors better, the light green is a little neon-y and over the top. (Maybe this displays differently on different monitors/browsers/OS's? Or maybe just "different strokes for different folks!")
I like that it's a circle, it slightly suggests the "O" of "open." I like (but others might not?) that it is simply "School of Open," and leaves the "P2PU" connection for people to find out if they choose to click around -- rather than wondering what P2PU is if they encounter SOO outside its space. (This is particularly relevant in our course -- we have had so many "host/sponsor" type organizations -- P2PU, SOO, Hewlett, U. Mississippi, Wikipedia... -- that it's been hard to communicate it all to our students!
I like that it's simple.
I like that it can pass for both "fun" and "serious." I would feel proud to show this on my most professional web profile, but it would also be at home in a more whimsical setting. Awesome job walking that line, it's not easy to do!!
I have always found the padlock a little weird -- to me the first thing that pops into my head is "LOCKED" or "CLOSED," and it takes a moment to notice that it's unlocked and intends "open." BUT, this has obviously taken off in the Open Access world, and it's probably best to stick with it! (Plus, I really don't have a better suggestion.)
Side point -- Jane, have you or anybody ever asked about having the padlock released under CC0? I did that with the source file of the WIKISOO Burba Badge, which also required attribution, and I think the creator was appreciative that I pointed out a problem that he hadn't been aware of.

Really like the color-use that Tim's put out, and the feedback Pete gave.Question: Is this logo meant to jump the SOO in line with the other P2PU schools (webcraft, education) branding-wise, and if so, can we see the logos they are working on or planning to use?
The padlock icon has meaning for those of us in these circles, but may not be obvious to newcomers. The Open Access logo that PLOS created is CC0, which might be a good option.

Please give feedback soon.
Thanks,

Hi Erika,
Looks good. I like the new green a lot.
I'm torn on the lock. I agree that it should be the original or the 2nd tilted one. I like the size of the original lock but the unlocked aspect is more apparent. Maybe increase the size of the new lock?
